Sometimes people should just *listen* to what others say. It's not… - Musings from -the redhead-

‡ Thought for the Moment ‡

Hold on to your power: don't let others squash it. Hold on to your courage: don't let others preach it out of you. Hold on to your independence: don't let others scare it out of you. Author your life without guilt or shame: do not live to please others. Refuse to surrender except to your truest self and your wisest voice.- Patricia Lynn Reilly

The greater your dreams, the more terrible your nightmares.~Edward Abbey

Sometimes people should just *listen* to what others say. It's not that hard. Not everyone is going to coddle you and phrase everything in exactly the words you want to hear. Arguing that they should is ridiculous. Tho I suppose that I could just feed back to people the words and phrases they use or want or find acceptable - it will make for really boring conversations, but maybe that's the only way to get along. It's too bad that saying something politely is so often overlooked or taken as an invitation to do whatever they want anyway.
